Black Light Black Light – Black Light [label] Wisconsin-based, like their label Brave Mysteries, Black Light are one of the newer travellers on the neofolk path. Inspired by the European styles that went before, but with a touch of American outstretchedness to the sound. There’s the usual combination of a guitar base and male and [...] 
EP#2 Almeeva – EP#2 [discogs] Another cool little tape from BLWBCK records in France, this second EP by Almeeva (Gregory Hoepffner) holds a little over twenty minutes of excellent road music, halfway between dance and rock. Reminiscent of bands like Maserati, these tracks unavoidably make you feel like you’re speeding along a boulevard. A dry electronic beat, [...] 
Jour Cinq Aspectee – Jour Cinq [discogs] Aspectee’s Jour Cinq is a dark ambient album by the book, with well-constructed moods and gently drifting melodies. The ten tracks on here are all around 5-6 minutes in length and flow along rather evenly, with not all that much true excitement, but quite a few good melodies [...] 
Les Voyages de l'Âme Alcest - Les Voyages de l’Âme [discogs] After a re-release of the excellent EP Le Secret and as previous full-length that has grown on me despite initial misgivings, I expected rather a lot from the new Alcest album. Certainly more of that magical dreamy mix of shoegaze fuzz and extreme metal [...] 
In the Event of My Disappearance Agitated Radio Pilot – In the Event of My Disappearance [discogs] Alongside our own double release, In the Event of My Disappearance, released on China’s Midnight Productions, is one of the final ARP releases. And a fine one it is! Dave Colohan focuses mostly on piano-driven songs here, which is [...] 
Akhet Akhet – Akhet [discogs] There are rare impromptu recording sessions where everything just comes together. Akhet is a result of one of those, an incedental collaboration by Paul van den Berg, Marc Verhaeghen, and Dirk Serries. The four long tracks on this LP released by Tonefloat clock to almost an hour, filled with quirky [...] 
Alasdair Roberts & Friends – Joy to the Person of My Love [discogs] Joy to the Person of My Love This Rif Mountain 7″ contains a duo of interpretations of 17th century songs. Scottish songster Roberts has made settings of these tunes for voice, acoustic guitar, flute, and whistle, which form a nice bridge [...] 
Café de l’Enfer – Marchant à quatre pattes au-devant de la rédemption [discogs] Marchant à quatre pattes au-devant de la rédemption This debut full-length by Café de l’Enfer on Steinklang is a typical piece of martial/neoclassical as we’ve come to know it for over a decade. The album seeks to confront the listener with [...] 
Aderlating – Spear of Gold and Seraphim Bone Part One [discogs] Spear of Gold and Seraphim Bone Part One Delectable darkness comes from Aderlating recently, a project by Mories of Gnaw Their Tongues and Eric of Mowlawner. Not surprisingly, the album mixes dark ambient and drones with obscure black metal outbursts to create [...] 
Kentin Jivek – Ode to Marmæle [MySpace] Ode to Marmæle Kentin Jivek is an upcoming French neofolk artist who has several online releases to his name. Ode to Marmæle is the most recent example, and a fine selection of fourteen tracks. Immediately striking about the album as a whole is the fine production, the [...] |
